Ellington notched two carries for two yards and one catch (on two targets) for five yards during Sunday's win versus the Bengals.
One week removed from his most fruitful performance of the season, Ellington fell back to earth, despite nearly matching Chris Johnson's snap count (25 versus 33, according to Mike Jurecki of FOX Sports 910 Phoenix). Once again, Johnson handled the bulk of the work afforded running backs, recording 18 rushes for 63 yards and one reception for two yards on two targets. Meanwhile, rookie David Johnson reached paydirt for the seventh time this season on a 16-yard grab. Under the direction of head coach Bruce Arians, the veteran Johnson is the only guarantee out of the Cardinals' backfield in 2015, while Ellington and David Johnson will be hit-or-miss on a weekly basis.
